I was recently selected as one of three social influencers to test drive the new Kia Niro for a whole week. I got to drive the car for a whole week in my daily life, taking the girls to school, dropping them off at their after school activities and attending events for work. Overall, I was genuinely impressed with the Kia Niro and all its amenities. However, I was surprised that my family of five fit into the car with our overnight luggages and a stroller.
Although smaller in size as a hybrid crossover SUV, the Kia Niro is packed with features that makes it hard to believe the starting price is 22k. As part of the influencer test drive event, we headed out to Palm Springs. As expected, the wind was very strong but the desert view was gorgeous. This wind farm is located on the San Gorgonio Mountain Pass in the San Bernadino Mountains and contains more than separate windmills.
It provides enough electricity to power Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley. Pretty impressive, right? To get here exit off Indian Canyon Drive Exit , turn right and go down the road. Our next stop was Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. To get there, you first park the car and take the shuttle to the observation decks. The weather was really hot on this day and the cooling seats were a lifesaver.
The seats emit cool air against your back and cools off your whole body. This is such a valuable feature to have while traveling as family. We were able to pack a stroller, a medium sized luggage, a cooler and few travel bags in the trunk.
A gorgeous mountain view, various species of succulents and the desert scape awaits at Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. To get to the top of the mountain, you must purchase tickets to ride the tram. Ticket prices are as follows.
